3rd Annual USC Family weekend

3rd Annual USC Family Weekend.  This time with 2 Trojans!  

A highlight was just sitting in our rental car and chatting about their college experiences.  My heart is full knowing the boys are well and have each other's back. 

Ethan got sworn in as an Air Force Cadet.

Made it back early from USC for Mark's co-worker's wedding in SF.
